One criticism on Tanks For Memories · 8:00pm Apr 25th, 2015
I liked the episode. Introduced interesting concepts about how winter is brought about in the first place. I always love Rainbow Dash episodes. I also liked the interesting focus on RD and Tank. One pet peeve I have on the episode is the scene where RD cries her heart out in her room for missing tank. If the point was for us to sympathize with Rainbow in missing her pet, that did not happen with me. If they were approaching from a comical route, then it was done poorly. I didn't laugh at all. I was like " uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh!" I was groaning at their poor execution. If they would have laid aside their poor attempts of comedy during this scene, and instead focus on the feeling of being separated from your loved one, it would have worked better and had a better effect. I wish it was that case, but it's too late now. This is my two cent worth.
P.S. I'm starting to wonder if FIM Fic writers have better talents in writing emotional stories than the show writers themselves.
